I'm partial to Winamp, but since i use two iPods I'm kinda stuck using iTunes. I use the iTunes store to preview songs I will eventually "buy", and that's about it. I've bought a few songs and a few albums off iTunes, but I'm generally not impressed, due to the fact you can't burn purchased tracks onto and MP3 or data CD, only an Audio.

i dont pirate. im just trying to put my cd's on this damned ipod.
but alas, it just frustrates me.

Even if you don't pirate music, Winamp is a great program to use. I'd recommend against EVER buying iTunes music because you can't do anything with it. If you want it just pony up and buy the CD or find a friend that has the CD.

Are you really that naÃ¯ve? The whole purpose of the IP is to keep track of things. You can be tracked no matter what. Don't believe me? Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do become brian's celly.

The purpose of an IP is to give your computer a specific number sequence based on where you connect to the internet so traffic can be routed to you. It's not designed to track you although it can be used in such a way.

The reason Limewire is stupid is because it's not encrypted, people can tell what you're downloading. On the other hand, if you use encrypted bit torrent, outside connections can't tell what kind of traffic is going to your machine. The only people who know what you're trafficking are the people you're currently seeding to, or leeching from.

Uh, what? How does the server know which open socket to use to send data? It keeps track of them. The very premise of an IP address is to make it easier to keep track of open connections. Now please kindly go back to your CCNA class.
